Beige Adipose Tissue Identification and Marker Specificity—Overview
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 Adipose tissue (AT) is classified based on its location, physiological and functional characteristics. Although there is a clear demarcation of anatomical and molecular features specific to white (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT), the factors that ...

Adipose tissue and liver [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2018 Adipose tissue and liver are central tissues in whole body energy metabolism. Their composition, structure, and function can be noninvasively imaged using a variety of measurement techniques that provide a safe alternative to an invasive biopsy. Imaging of adipose tissue is focused on quantitating the distribution of adipose tissue in subcutaneous and

Adipose tissue aging is regulated by an altered immune system
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Adipose tissue is a widely distributed organ that plays a critical role in age-related physiological dysfunctions as an important source of chronic sterile low-grade inflammation. Adipose tissue undergoes diverse changes during aging, including fat depot

mTORC2 sustains thermogenesis via Akt-induced glucose uptake and glycolysis in brown adipose tissue [PDF]
, 2016 Activation of non-shivering thermogenesis (NST) in brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been proposed as an anti-obesity treatment. Moreover, cold-induced glucose uptake could normalize blood glucose levels in insulin-resistant patients.

Imaging of Adipose Tissue [PDF]
, 2014 Adipose tissue is an endocrine organ that specializes in lipid metabolism and is distributed throughout the body in distinct white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT) depots. These tissues have opposing roles in lipid metabolism with WAT storing excessive caloric intake in the form of lipid, and BAT burning lipid through nonshivering ...

Adipose Tissue as an Endocrine Organ [PDF]
, 2018 As one of the largest endocrine organs in the body, adipose tissue secrets a number of bioactive hormones, called adipokines. The expression and secretion of adipokines are tightly controlled and coordinated by physiological and pathophysiological ...
